As for the ending, although it was foreshadowed earlier
Spoiler:
Jay was a chump and had been friend zoned. Hell, she even shot him and didn't blink twice. Looks like Fassbender ended up with a new family as well with the two blonde kids and the girl Jay like.
May as well have called Jay "Billy Beta."

I just watched this on Netflix, not knowing anything about it beforehand. I liked some things about it, but overall I think it was a failure. The story had potential, but it was wasted. The film didn't seem to find a consistent or appropriate directorial tone to tell the story.

Even though though this was a somewhat absurdist movie, the "salt in the wound" gag felt like something from a totally different movie--perhaps one directed by the Zucker brothers.
